Hi all
I had a weird issue with my 2001 TDI today. Whilst heading out the speedo needle jumped once. I thought that was odd and didn’t think much more of it.
When I left to come back home, the car flashed up orange warnings for power steering, faulty oil sensor? and low fuel (I am low on fuel though ). The power steering was not working. The speedo was also not working. The speedo then started working erratically (bouncing about). After a while the power steering came back on and the speedo started acting normal.
I have experienced damp footwell carpets before (I’ve had windscreens changed multiple times) and we’ve had a lot of heavy rain in the last few days. My carpets are damp again. I suspect what’s happened is linked to this.
I’m going to try to lift the footwell carpets and see what’s there. Anything else I should look at?
Thanks
Tim
